⚠️ Possible Side Effects

While maca is generally safe, especially in food-level doses, mild side effects may include:

• Headache or sleep disruption if taken too late 
• Mild jitteriness in sensitive users (rare) 

Most effects fade as your body adapts. Use smaller doses at first and take with food.

🚨 Overdose & Safety Considerations

🛑 Stick to 1–2 teaspoons daily unless advised otherwise. Consider gelatinized maca if raw powder causes digestive issues.
